On Thursday 20th July, The Zoological Society of East Anglia will be launching our first ever corporate cycle challenge: The “Big Banham Bike Ride.” Our aim is to do something a little different from usual business fundraising and networking events. Rather than picking up the golf clubs, why not put on the lycra (other clothing choices are welcome too with prizes available for best dressed!) and join us for a big bike ride around a beautiful part of Norfolk.
For your part in signing up to help with our efforts to conserve some of the worlds most endangered wildlife you’ll be given a light welcome brunch, refreshments at the half way point and an afternoon finger buffet with the chance to network and place bids on some of our great cycling prizes. After the event you will be welcome to join us for a personal tour of Banham Zoo, to find out more about what we do and how we help save some of the worlds most endangered wildlife.
This is a great chance to network with the business community from across East Anglia as well as making a direct contribution to the Wildlife Conservation work of the Zoological Society of East Anglia.
Two routes are available – a 90km ride through rural Norfolk, or a slightly shorter 40km version. Both start and finish at Banham Zoo.

You’re invited to join us for the final instalment in our Insight Day webinar series, on Thursday 19th November!
Running a business isn’t always easy at the best of times, and with a second lockdown it can be even more challenging. That’s why, after its success during the first lockdown, we decided to bring back our Insight Day webinars. This time, with a series that will help to support and assist with a variety of essential topics when it comes to digitally marketing your business.
We will be ending the series with a topic that has been heavily requested, SEO. Do you want to find out how to increase your business visibility with search engine optimisation? In this free webinar we’ll explain how you can research what your customers are asking search engines, and why it’s such a crucial step in your SEO process.
We will help you to discover where your website pages are ranking on Google, how you can optimise your website, listings and social media channels to increase visibility – and the difference between being ‘visible’ on a search engine, and gaining ‘traffic’ from a search engine.
We’ll be running two sessions on the day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. You can choose your preferred time upon registration.
Adapt and diversify to attract visitors to Norfolk
There’s no doubt that the impact of coronavirus is proving extremely challenging for anyone involved in tourism.
The EXPERIENCE project team is inviting you to its first webinar to help you find ways you can adapt to the changing situation and prepare to welcome visitors back when it is safe to do so.
This might be by diversifying, extending the visitor season by offering new high-quality experiences, making your business more sustainable or focussing on being more accessible for people with additional physical or sensory requirements.
Register by midday on Friday, November 20.
This webinar will offer tips and let you know how you could benefit from being involved in the EXPERIENCE project:
How diversification and adaptation could help your recovery plan
Hear about a business that has already adapted to 2020 circumstances
What is experiential tourism? How to tap into it successfully in the off-season (October-March)
New target markets e.g. wellness
The value of sustainability
How making your business more accessible will attract a larger market
You’ll also be invited to:
Tell us how EXPERIENCE can support you with free training or tools to help you adapt to the impact of coronavirus

EXPERIENCE is a €23m project aimed at attracting visitors in the off-peak season, through a new ‘experiential tourism’ approach. See our leaflet attached or visit www.tourismexperience.org.
We will support local organisations to develop unique autumn and winter activities and experiences through training and networking. Our goal is to draw in tourists between October and March (2021/22 and 2022/23) to six areas across England and France, including Norfolk.
We’re looking for a variety of organisations in Norfolk to participate and benefit from what we can offer.
Spaces are strictly limited so register soon! If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to email us.
If you store and/or process personal data and do not know where to start with GDPR compliance should be looking to attend this event. We will provide a brief overview of the GDPR for SME businesses. This is a great opportunity to get your GDPR compliance journey up and running. For example did you know:-
that the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that comes into force on the 25th May 2018?
that this will apply to over 99% of businesses and charities in the UK?
how this applies to you and your business?
what you should and shouldn’t be doing regarding peoples data and it’s storage?
If the answer is no to the above, then our half day workshop will be ideal to get up to speed with the key facts and issues. We can help take out the dread and help you get your head around the basics. At our event you will find out what you need to do if you have employees or you collect any information on customers including, name, address, email, phone number. Being aware and taking sensible precautions now can help reduce the fear of fines substantial fines in the future.
Joe Cooksey, Digital Engagement Manager for Barclays, in this half day event will:
Guide you through the GDPR key points
Discuss how you can use your data and ensure you adhere to the rules
Cyber Security you should consider and be aware of.
What is GDPR and why do we need to comply?
The GDPR has been designed to enable Data Protection to keep up with the ever changing digital landscape we do business in. It is more extensive in scope and application than the current Data Protection Act (DPA). The Regulation extends the data rights of individuals, and requires organisations to develop clear policies and procedures to protect personal data, and adopt appropriate technical and organisational measures.
The European Union (EU)’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will impose greater regulatory control over EU residents’ personal data and force all global organizations to significantly change the way they handle that data. The GDPR will apply in the UK from 25 May 2018. The government has confirmed that the UK’s decision to leave the EU will not affect the commencement of the GDPR. UK organisations that process the personal data of EU residents have only a short time to ensure that they are compliant.
How will GDPR impact my business?
This will affect organisations of any size that collect and/or process personal data of EU citizens, this can include names, phone numbers, addresses, IP Addresses, ethnicity, health data to give some examples. GDPR enables individuals to have control over their own personal data. This has been processed further to the large numbers and increases to data breaches in businesses and organisations.
One of the main changes in the GDPR that organisations must consider across their operations is that the burden of proof to demonstrate compliance with the GDPR rests with the company providing services to the end user ‘the data subject’. Examples of the considerations a business will need to consider under the new GDPR include:
They correctly handle employee and HR data
Data is collected via the website, sales and CRMs are stored, handled and processed in a compliant manner
That security systems and controls are documented and suitable and proportional
Processes are in place if a breach occurs
Ability to effect the ‘right to be forgotten’.
All information used in this presentation you are registering for relating to GDPR is produced by Braclays for information purposes only and is for the sole use of the attendees at the presentation.
Whilst we feel this topic is beneficial to business owners, the views expressed are not intended to be and should not be viewed as individual advice or as a recommendation. Any views expressed in the presentation are not necessarily those of Barclays and should not be viewed as individual advice or as a recommendation. You should seek independent advice in respect of issues that are of concern to you.
